About This Lesson
Explore the moral anguish of a Holocaust survivor with this study guide to Roman Polanski’s Academy Award-winning film The Pianist. Students gauge their own reactions to prejudice, weigh the options for resistance to persecution, and discover the humanizing power of compassion as they follow the film’s hero, Wladyslaw Szpilman, through his five-year struggle. Includes a Holocaust timeline and resource list. VISIT WEBSITE (via link) for additional info. Made possible by Focus Features.
An excellent resource on a tragic time in world history. As an additional resource, teachers may want to have their classes listen to my song "6,000,000," or read its lyric sheet as a poem. Both resources are available under my name, Hank Fellows, on the "Share My Lesson" website.
